Tristian's Reef : 325 Gallon Build Prbly Flooding the Floor Again...

Thanks bro
! I’m really excited as well. The stand and sump should be delivered in a few days and then it’s off to the races to get both setup before the tank arrives.

I told my lfs to order the synergy overflow as well so it’s here in time the 20” overflows take 1 to 2 weeks to ship.

Updates:

My entire tank is complete and ready to ship.
The stand is complete and shipped today.
The sump is almost done but not ready. There was an issue with the first protype which required a rebuild.

In the mean time I was able to acquire some more corals for the new tank

Alright tanks gonna be here early tomorrow morning. Time to get this stand in the house. That was easy enough with a dolly and some engineering magic.

If I don’t like how that ceiling fan looks I’m going to replace it with a smaller one or maybe even a nice modern chandelier.

I’m still undecided if I will build a canopy for this tank but given the amount of lights I plan to use I think a canopy would look nicer and neater.

Well its here! The full video of the delivery and lift will be uploaded tonight and a link dropped here. I'm editing it now. Everything went well! My LFS Did an AMAZING job of getting the tank off the truck and into the house! Fantastic display of professionalism and skill from fellow hobbyists!
